Perhaps the easiest way to find the midpoint between two given points is to average their coordinates: add them up and divide by 2.
A) The midpoint C' of AB is
.. (A +B)/2 = ((0, 0) +(m, n))/2 = ((0 +m)/2, (0 +n)/2) = (m/2, n/2) = C'
The midpoint B' is
.. (A +C)/2 = ((0, 0) +(p, 0))/2 = (p/2, 0) = B'
The midpoint A' is
.. (B +C)/2 = ((m, n) +(p, 0))/2 = ((m+p)/2, n/2) = A'
B) The slope of the line between (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is given by
.. slope = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)
Using the values for A and A', we have
.. slope = (n/2 -0)/((m+p)/2 -0) = n/(m+p)
C) We know the line goes through A = (0, 0), so we can write the point-slope form of the equation for AA' as
.. y -0 = (n/(m+p))*(x -0)
.. y = n*x/(m+p)
D) To show the point lies on the line, we can substitute its coordinates for x and y and see if we get something that looks true.
.. (x, y) = ((m+p)/3, n/3)
Putting these into our equation, we have
.. n/3 = n*((m+p)/3)/(m+p)
The expression on the right has factors of (m+p) that cancel*, so we end up with
.. n/3 = n/3 . . . . . . . true for any n
_____
* The only constraint is that (m+p) ≠ 0. Since m and p are both in the first quadrant, their sum must be non-zero and this constraint is satisfied.
The purpose of the exercise is to show that all three medians of a triangle intersect in a single point.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Does it say what x and y equals
Answer:
50%
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate the percentage of increase, what we must do divide the two quantities, in this way we will be able to know how bigger they are from each other. So:
9000/6000 = 1.5
Now, we subtract those from 1, which would be 100%
1.5 - 1 = 0.5
therefore the increase was 50%
Winning%=100[wins/(total games)]
w%=100(A-B)/A
So the way that your choice expressed that is:
(A-B)/A x 100
The salesman earns $850 per automobile he sells.
Since x represents the amount of automobiles the salesman sells, we can apply the commission as a coefficient to this variable. Therefore, the total commission that the salesman earns can be represented by $850x.
The bonus cheque is only received if the salesman's commission income is <em>at least </em>$6,800. 'at least' means that the salesman can still receive the cheque if his commission is exactly $6,800. The sign that we can use for this situation is the greater than or equal to sign, ≥.
The inequality that shows the commission income needed for the cheque is $850x ≥ $6,800. However, this question asks for the number of automobiles the salesman must sell to get the cheque.
Divide both sides by $850, as that represents his sales from one commission:
x ≥ 8
The inequality x ≥ 8 represents the amount of automobiles the salesman will need to sell to get the bonus cheque.
